Understand the cause of cough
First, we need to know the cause of cough. If it is bacterial infection or mycoplasma infection, it should be treated with antibiotics. If it is caused by allergies, then keep your child away from allergens and try anti-allergic drugs.
Drink more warm water.
Secondly, give your child plenty of warm water. This will not only moisten the respiratory tract, but also wash away the phlegm in the throat.
Try syrup for relieving cough and resolving phlegm.
In addition, you can try cough-relieving and phlegm-resolving syrup for your child, which can effectively relieve symptoms. However, please note that children's cough mostly occurs after respiratory tract infection, especially at night. Remember to let children drink more water, eat light food, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy, greasy and irritating food. A proper pat on the back can also help the child to expectorate.
Timely medical treatment
Finally, if the child coughs up yellow sputum, it may be a bacterial infection, and then it needs to be treated with antibacterial drugs. Such as azithromycin or cephalosporins, but it must be used under the guidance of a doctor. If the cough lasts for more than two weeks, it is recommended to take your child to the hospital as soon as possible to prevent serious diseases such as pneumonia.
